Friday night, June 1st, my husband and I were again treated to a bevvy of calories and feasts of the eyes and ears – dinner and lunches and tickets to three Broadway musicals in a row! First up was a trip back to Sardi’s Restaurant to sit amongst the famous caricatures and eat a good meal with some good Malbec […]
Wednesday night, the plans for the In-Law Invasion went into full swing, as they took us to the French restaurant Marseilles on 9th Avenue before seeing “The Best Man” on Broadway. I had the Hummus Tahini for an appetizer (it didn’t quite live up to The Hummus Place’s delicacies), but the Salmon with asparagus and wheatberry salad was light, healthy […]
Just a little warning, readers – the in-laws are in town, and when that happens, we see a bunch of musicals and plays in a row along with accompanying dinners and lunches. So, I’ll be posting mini-reviews and experiences on the blog soon! On the docket for this week: The Best Man, Nice Work If You Can Get It, Evita, […]
Even the best, professionally-trained actors and singers have mental blocks, issues, worries, hangups, excitements, and passionately discordant thoughts in my/their minds when I/they walk into and out of an audition room. Even Tyne Daly had nerves going into auditions; one day, the assistant casting director told her in the waiting room, “Tyne, it’s a chance to act on a Thursday…” […]

I jokingly tweeted to @nytimes that I would love […]

All music fans, students, and aficionados should listen to this episode of Star Talk Radio, hosted by Neil DeGrasse Tyson, entitled “The Music of the Spheres”. It features an interview with Moby and discusses how music is invariably connected to the vibrations of the universe, our emotions, and our brainwaves. Highly recommended!!! From StarTalkRadio.net
…and mentions Marquee Five and our new debut CD “8-Track Throwback” towards the end. Check her out November 27th and 28th!
Here’s an update on what’s been going on here in Connecticut and in New York City! I’m still having a terrific time in East Haddam, performing in “City of Angels.” I had two exciting understudy performances as Donna/Oolie while Nancy Anderson accepted her Noel Coward award, appeared on television singing in The Angel City 4 quartet with “Jimmy Powers,” came […]
My goodness! A month and a few odd days later, and I am finally getting back to blogging. I’ve been in East Haddam, CT, rehearsing (and now already in preview performances) for “City of Angels” at Goodspeed Musicals…and what a blast it has been. Besides rehearsals, computer problems, understudy line memorization, and Hurricane Irene, it has been a busy time! […]
